Plus the same cool versions have now a new variation with changed window caption buttons!

Note: if you like this theme, would you be willing to donate a mere 0.5€ as a symbol of your appreciation for me? If you are interested please click here: www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?…

UPDATE 14:

- NEW VARIATIONS!!! I've got bored of the caption buttons so I made another set of caption buttons which come as a extra versions of the same styles as before. Hope you like them! You can check'em out in a fresh screenshot here: dpcdpc11.deviantart.com/art/Le…

UPDATE 13:

- fixed the height of the All Programs section in Start Menu

UPDATE 12:

- another annoying bug that gave me 2 sleepless nights is finally fixed! I'm talking about the exaggerated height of menu and toolbar in Open and Libre Office. Users... enjoy!

UPDATE 11:

- the much awaited fix for the autoscroll mouse cursor in Firefox is here! It was the damn tooltip PNG in Explorer causing all the hassle. Glad I've finally fixed it! Still trying to fix the huge height of the button/toolbar of Open/Libre Office 3.3

UPDATE 10:

- finally fixed the More Options popup menu in Explorer. Thanks to solmiler

UPDATE 9:

- changed the selected item image in explorer and also the text color from white to black. The white text color was the same as in the details of items when searching in windows explorer which was pretty annoying, for someone using windows explorer.- I've included another version in the package: bottom flat. What's that all about? It's a previous version of the taskbar which I like and kept alive. It's flat like you guessed and does not have that inner dark gradient that the normal version has. This works perfect on flat minimalistic wallpapers!

UPDATE 8:

- finally fixed the buggy display of fonts in microsoft office 2010 tabs. Thanks to jhanford for the suggestion!

Update 7

- Yes, another update... but it's a GOOD update!- improved the Small Fonts versions: thinner window frames and also thinner scrollbars. Since some people have small resolutions on their display, I though this change would improve their experience and productivity using this theme, since the desktop space is so limited. Enjoy!

Update 6

- fixed the undetermined progress bar... try checking for windows updates and you'll see what I mean! Thanks to iBest for the bug reporting!

Update 5

- made some small modifications to the bottom taskbar version... added a pale dark gradient to give it a little depth. This will be more visible on simple wallpapers.

Update 4

- fixed the bottom taskbar... now it's smooth as silk!- removed the aero reflections... now the taskbar and the window frames are all cleaned (thanks to troubada for pointing this out).

Update 3

- added SMALL FONTS version for Bottom and Top taskbar placement. The new font used is called Aller but since I don't have the License to distribute it, I can't include it in the package. Fortunately you can download it for free here: www.daltonmaag.com/Aller_Std_F…

Update 2

- added bottom version for the people who use their taskbar on the bottom. It's slightly different from the one on the top but I hope you like it!

Update 1

- fixed the extended start menu (thanks to sergiogarcia for the bug report!)

Package includes:

- 6 Theme versions: Top, Top Small Fonts, Bottom, Bottom Small Fonts + an extra variation of the bottom versions: Bottom Flat! What's that all about? It's a previous version of the taskbar which I like and kept alive. It's flat like you guessed and does not have that inner dark gradient that the normal version has. This works perfect on flat minimalistic wallpapers!- Plus the same cool versions have now a new variation with changed window caption buttons!- Fonts need to make it work perfectly, except Aller... read bellow!- Explorer Navigation Buttons- Windows Start Button: dpcdpc11.deviantart.com/art/Le…

How to:

1. Patch your system files and install the required fonts!Be sure to patch your system files before you can use 3rd party windows themes. Use this tool to do it: www.windows7download.com/win7-…Install the fonts found in the folder "Resources/Fonts"

2. Install the theme?Copy the content of each folder inside the Theme folder to: "C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\" (Asuming that you're Windows 7 is installed on partition C)

5. Smooth Fonts like in OSX or Linux?Use gdipp, the little app which changes you font rendering engine to make the fonts look smooth just like, or almost like in Linux or MacOS. Download here: code.google.com/p/gdipp/downlo…

The suggester said: "Not only is Leaf Visual Style for Windows7 by ~dpcdpc11 a beautiful visual style for Windows 7, but the creator of this theme has spent many hours listening to the feedback in his comments, correcting and improving his theme, taking others' advice and adding requested elements. You won't find a theme with more attention to detail - and you won't find a skinner with more time for his watchers or the users of his themes.

This visual style has been updated 14 times and has 6 sub-themes, yet i think he's still improving it when he has the time! Simply amazing." (

HI DPCDPC11, i really fall in love with your themes, Simply AWESOME GREAT! i used them on my old PC Windows 7 Installed on it but currently i'm using Windows 8.1 Any updates WILL BE VERY APPRECIATED! Please Please Update it for me or for the whole community!

Thanks for being a fan! Unfortunately since windows 8, microsoft removed the Aero interface so I can't port the Leaf themes on win 8 cause I would need to enable transparency.There are 3rd party apps that try to bring back Aero transparency but from my tests they are not stable enough for everyday use... So yeah, thanks Microshit!

So, for the patcher, I downloaded it and ran it. It says I have to patch 3 files, but it only does 2. It patches two and one column? row? for the last file is just completely empty. blank. Am I safe to continue??

This looks like a wonderful theme! Is there any way you could upload a new link to the theme patcher? 2/3 of the links provided on that website are dead and the last one is in Russian and Google Translate couldn't tell me where the download button was, haha.

Thank you so much! That link worked perfectly. I just finished installing the theme(s) (at least I hope I did), and I can't seem to find a way to change my Minimize, Restore/Maximize, and Close buttons. I got my navigation buttons changed, just not those three. I'm also really confused about what I'm supposed to do with the font files. I'm super new to this stuff, so sorry if I'm missing something totally obvious. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The theme supports only the default 96dpi display setting. So if your using the windows scaling (zoom) then you won't see the proper caption buttons.About the fonts... the theme uses certain fonts, the fonts that you mentioned. Installing a font in windows is super easy: right click on the font file > Install. Then restart your PC and you're done.

Thanks for the font help! As for my caption button issue: my windows scaling is already set at the default 100% (96dpi) display and I'm still unable to see the caption buttons. Is it possible there was a glitch while downloading the files and they weren't included?

Gdipp works great except that funny looking font on some webpage with firefox but mactype fixes that problem! It's very nice to finally have same smooth font rendering as on my linux install (Hey I see your gallery and you have Ubuntu theme for W7 too! I'll look into that )

I wanna say thanks to you again for taking time to help others and provide us with great themes!

Do please try the Maverick theme as well. I try to replicate the Ubuntu style as much as possible but due to Windows limitations and bad programming of various software, there are some visual glitches with some programs.

Leave a feedback after you give it a try. Don't forget to install the required fonts and the restart Windows.

When I apply the theme(actually it happens on your other themes as well, I've tried Maverick and now Simplify) the text for the Desktop icons is white but after a while they just become black color. Is there any way to change that? I tried the advanced appearance settings but you can't select color there. I am not sure if a screenshot would help.

I think something might be wrong with your windows or something. Cause if the text is white after applying the theme then the theme itself it's working correctly. But if the text turn black after a while, then it's definitely some other software doing this change or maybe something is wrong with the windows install.

The text looks fine, the icons have the Ubuntu font as they should on your theme. I went on Advanced appearance settings and change the Desktop color to a different color and now the icon text has stayed white. Weird

1st of all the theme is very nice but it really need many fixes at fonts, they aren't looking nice everywhere. and 2ndly i want 2 ask if it is possible to remove theme from a specified program cause i got a carbon theme on my mozilla and this windows theme really destroy it and my text style bookmarks. overall i appreciate ur work but if u can and u have time make it perfect cause it has a very nice look, simple, a bit glossy, fast. and btw, i forgot a shit, this theme has a problem with thunbails i think cause i get problems via windows photo viewer and when i reopen a picture in 1-3 sec i get com surrogate stopped working (this was the reason of my comment but forgot totally about error ) that's all, cu
